Concord is a layered shooter built from Coffee Liqueur, Baileys Irish Cream, and Overproof Rum in equal one-third-ounce measures. The coffee liqueur forms the dense base, Baileys creates the creamy center, and overproof rum finishes the shot with a strong, dry top layer.
What You'll Need
Ingredients
- Coffee Liqueur - roasted bittersweet base.
- Baileys Irish Cream - creamy middle layer.
- Overproof Rum - high-proof top layer.
Equipment
- Shot Glass
- Bar spoon
- Jigger
Layering Is the Whole Technique
The three equal pours are easy to remember. Clean separation depends on pouring slowly over the back of a spoon, not on any flaming presentation.
Substitutions & Variations
- Use another Irish cream instead of Baileys.
- Use another coffee liqueur.
- Replace Overproof Rum with standard-proof aged rum for a softer version; layering may change.
Helpful Tips
- Chill the ingredients before building.
- Pour slowly from densest to lightest.
- Keep the spoon close to the previous layer.
- Serve immediately once layered.
- Do not ignite the rum; the shot is complete without flame.
